PSI measurement of the RMS proton radius

Spectroscopic measurement of the energy splitting of the

2S1/2-2P1/2 levels in muonic hydrogen (Lamb shift).

Proton Charge Radius from P lamb shift disagrees with eP scattering result by about 6%

I. Sick (Basel) : “What gives? I don’t know”. “Serious discrepency” [ELBA XI, Nature.com]

C. Carlson (W&M) : “Something is missing, this is very clear.” [Nature.com]

P. Mohr (NIST) : “would be quite revolutionary.” [L.A. Times.]

B. Odom (N.Western) : “...very surprised to find strong disagreement.” [N.P.R.]

J. Flowers (N.P.L.) “...could mean a complete rethink of QED”. [National Geographic]

“...opens door for a theorist to come up with next [NY Times] theoretical leap, and claim their Nobel prize”.

Zemach radius : Integral of GEGM weighted by 1/Q2

Dominated by Kinematic region of E08-027 and E08-007

E08-027 : Proton g2 Structure Function

Primary Motivation

Proton g2 structure function has never been measured at low or moderate Q2.

We will determine this fundamental quantity at the lowest

possible Q2

This will help to clarify several outstanding puzzles

Hydrogen HyperFine Splitting : Lack of knowledge of g2 at low Q2 is one of the leading uncertainties.

Proton Charge Radius : also one of the leading uncertainties in extraction of <Rp> from H Lamb shift.

Summary

Long string of mechanical problems, But accomplished most of our physics goals

Right septa compromised significantly, but made it until the final day when we scavanged its power supply

Will be challenge to understand the optics

Beamline diagnostics worked well in range 50-100 nA.

Third Arm worked well, summed over all statistics we expect a 10% PbPT

E08-027 will provide the definitive measurement of g2 and GE/GM at low Q2
